A heat wave is coming, but CDC’s Heat and Health Tracker website says it’s no longer being maintained
If you’ve spent any time reading the news, listening to the radio, or talking to just about anyone, you know that a big heat wave is expected to make its way across the United States. But you might not be able to expect much help from the federal government if you want to monitor heat-related risks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) appears to have stopped updating part of its Heat & Health Tracker. The top of the page reads, “This website is no longer being maintained, and no new data will be added.” Fast Company has reached out to the CDC for comment and will update this post if we hear back. The Heat & Health Tracker allowed users to gather information about their county, such as daily heat-related illness rates. The map rated each area from “little to none” to “extreme” based on emergency department visits due to heat-related illness. The map currently only displays information up until May 21, 2025. Some functions are still working Despite the website’s statement that no new data will appear, some of the Heat & Health Tracker’s information is still up to date. The HeatRisk tool, which is sourced by the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was still showing updated data as of Friday. Notably, in May NOAA stopped tracking weather disasters brought on by climate change after decades of doing so. As of publication, visitors to the site can still plug in their zip code and see today’s HeatRisk, air quality, and actions they can take to protect their health. It also shows the HeatRisk forecast for the next six days. The HeatRisk map, launched last year, does come with a disclaimer stating, “HeatRisk is an experimental product and is not supported 24/7. Changes may occur without advance notice.” Under President Donald Trump’s second administration, government resources and funding have disappeared left and right. On Tuesday, the Trevor Project received notice that the national suicide hotline must close its LGBTQ+ youth services by July 17. Since 2022, the nonprofit for LGBTQ+ suicide prevention group has worked with the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) to support individuals who contact the 988 Lifeline. The government has also taken steps to remove potentially lifesaving information about topics like vaccines, sexually transmitted diseases, and dementia.
